DataCandy to Fuel Gift Card Strategy for Major Gas Station Chain


Leading Canadian fuel distributor Groupe Crevier has designated DataCandy as the driver of its new gift card program at supply points across the province. The Montreal-based software provider's turnkey solution has enabled Groupe Crevier to design and sell custom prepaid cards from its existing payment systems at over 200 of the brand's service stations - all in less than three months. The strategically timed launch of the program is expected to help the Quebec brand siphon a wealth of previously untapped holiday gift card sales.

"When DataCandy was recommended to us as a gift card partner, we knew that the potential benefits for our customers would be substantial," says Jean-Claude Clément, Vice President of Fuels at Groupe Crevier. "What we didn't know is just how easy the whole process would be. Adopting DataCandy's straightforward platform and rechargeable cards was a big leap toward Groupe Crevier's continued goal to enrich the customer experience at each of our service stations."

The simplicity of DataCandy's customer loyalty and gift card platform and its compatibility with most leading payment systems, including Global Payments' specialized Rigger payment terminal, have enabled gas station operators to connect even their most remote locations to their gift card network without a hitch.

"Being selected to implement such an iconicbrand's gift card program on a provincial scale is quite an honour for DataCandy," says Lorne Schwartz, President and CEO of DataCandy. "Helping businesses like Groupe Crevier maintain their competitive edge and provide a seamless customer experience is at the heart of our mission as a company."



Crevier gift cards have been available for purchase at the brand's service stations since November 21, 2018.
